Didnt realize that you were hailing from TX!! Cool!!
This is the food that my puppy came home on. The opinions that I give are mine. I consider this food to be ok,but only ok. The beet pulp is just a filler and a dogs body doesnt really do much with it,other than send it through. My vet told me that of all of the things that a dog could be allergic to,this is at the top of the list. Makes you wonder WHY would it be put in your pets food? The fact that it has chicken and brown rice in it is a good thing. The thing that I personally did not like about it besides the beet pulp which can also be why some small breeds have red tear staining is that,as you get close to the end of the list there are things that I would have to go look up to be able to pronounce and see what they are for. I dont eat this way so my dogs dont either. Im not sure where this product is made but if it says anything besides USA Im not feeding it to my dogs. Way to many products have come over on boats that have killed dogs.
ALL of that being said: I did a bit of research on Dog Food Review,looked in the library here and decided on several different foods that I was interested in. Wellness is a good food but has fish oil in it,not for the poodles, Taste of the Wild is supposed to be a good food as well. There are several older threads asking about certain foods and what others use. I ultimately ended up with Blue Buffalo Wilderness for small breeds. You can look several of these companys up and ask for samples to see if your baby will eat it at all. It might save you the hassel of purchasing a food and finding out that your picky eater yorkie doesnt like it. If this does happen you can usually take the open bag back to the petstore (save your receipts) or donate it to the local shelter.
When changing your dogs food,do it very slowly. You can throw your dogs system out of balance and mess its tummy up and end up at the vet. Start with 3/4 old food 1/4 new food,feed like this for a week or so and then move to 1/2 and 1/2 and so on. |
